I’ll Beat You to Death With Spirit Crystals

Men die for wealth, birds die for food—greed can blind a person’s reason. It has to be said, the reward Ian Song offered moved most of those present.

The outer city is vast, with a population of at least a hundred million. Most of the cultivators here are at the Qi Refining stage, but over ten million have surpassed that level.

So, after this commotion broke out, the number of cultivators gathering around had already exceeded ten thousand.

Moreover, cultivators spread news extremely fast. As soon as Ian Song finished speaking, many cultivators transmitted news of his reward through voice transmission jade talismans.

“Young Master Song, how can you guarantee you really have that many top-grade spirit crystals?” Suddenly, a voice rang out.

Immediately, Barry Jiang’s gaze turned sharp, trying to identify the speaker. But the voice was elusive, and with so many cultivators present, it was impossible to pinpoint who had spoken!

Ian Song laughed loudly, “I’m short on everything except top-grade spirit crystals!”

“How can you prove it?” the voice asked again.

Ian Song said, “Why don’t each of you curse Colin Jiang once? There are over ten thousand people here, and for every curse, I’ll pay one top-grade spirit crystal!”

A single top-grade spirit crystal equals one hundred thousand low-grade spirit crystals. For reference, even the Jade Maiden Sect, which dominates an entire county, only has a foundation of about one hundred thousand low-grade spirit crystals.

But now, just by cursing Colin Jiang once, you could earn wealth equal to the total assets of a small sect. Thinking of this, a late Foundation Establishment cultivator couldn’t help but shout, “Colin Jiang, you old turtle bastard!”

“This friend is truly bold! Because you’re the first to curse, I’m in a good mood—here, ten top-grade spirit crystals for you!”

As he spoke, ten spirit crystals flew out from the formation and landed in front of the Foundation Establishment cultivator who cursed.

“Wahaha, ten top-grade spirit crystals!”

Grabbing the ten top-grade spirit crystals, the Foundation Establishment cultivator was almost delirious with joy. But he wasn’t stupid—he quickly stuffed the crystals into his storage pouch and tried to flee.

“How dare you insult the Duke! Courting death!”

Barry Jiang’s eyes flashed coldly. He pointed a finger in the air, and the Foundation Establishment cultivator’s body instantly exploded into a cloud of blood.

He then swept his gaze around and said coldly, “Top-grade spirit crystals may be tempting, but you’d better live long enough to spend them!”

Seeing this, many people shivered, and those who’d been greedy quickly snapped back to their senses.

“Isn’t it just cursing Colin Jiang the old turtle once? Is it really worth killing someone over that? Besides, it’s not like you’ll lose a chunk of flesh just because someone insults you!” Ian Song’s teasing voice rang out.

“You little beast, you’d better hope I never catch you. Otherwise, I’ll make sure you can’t live or die!” Colin Jiang snarled through gritted teeth.

“Pfft, talk to me when you actually catch me!” Ian Song scoffed, then loudly called out, “Fellow Daoists, there are over ten thousand of you here. Why not curse together? They say the law doesn’t punish the masses—surely Chief Steward Jiang can’t kill everyone, right?”

At these words, everyone’s eyes lit up.

“Who dares!” Barry Jiang roared.

Ian Song grinned, “Come on, Fellow Daoists, ignore that old fossil. I’ll count to three, and then you all shout, ‘Colin Jiang, you old turtle bastard!’”

The next moment, Ian Song called out, “One, two, three!”

Everyone: “Colin Jiang, you old turtle bastard!”

Over ten thousand people shouted at once—the momentum was tremendous. The roar instantly spread for hundreds of li, and hearing the curses, Colin Jiang nearly fainted from rage.

“Well done, Fellow Daoists! Get ready, I’m about to hand out spirit crystals!”

As soon as he finished speaking, more than twelve thousand top-grade spirit crystals flew out, landing in everyone’s hands.

“Heavens, they really are top-grade spirit crystals!” a late Foundation Establishment cultivator laughed.

“Wuwu, top-grade spirit crystals... I’ve worked for a hundred years and never earned even one. Now I just cursed that old turtle and saved myself a century of effort!” A low-level cultivator was nearly moved to tears.

“Does everyone want to earn more top-grade spirit crystals?” Ian Song’s voice rang out, full of temptation.

“Of course!”

Everyone answered in unison.

Ian Song continued, “If you want more, head to the Duke of Qi Residence and start killing! Oh, and for those with lower cultivation, I’m changing the rules—if you kill even one livestock animal from the Duke of Qi Residence, I’ll give you a top-grade spirit crystal. Livestock is limited, so act fast! Everyone, get to the Duke of Qi Residence!”

As soon as Ian Song finished, a huge crowd of cultivators rushed toward the Inner City.

At the same time, many more cultivators who heard the news joined the army heading to the Duke of Qi Residence!

Seeing this, Colin Jiang was at a loss for words and shouted at Ian Song, “You little beast, call them back right now!”

“Didn’t you just threaten to kill me, old turtle? Now you can taste what it’s like to have your own family slaughtered!”

At this, Ian Song’s gaze fell on Old Man Tanner. “Senior, would you like to earn some top-grade spirit crystals?”

Old Man Tanner chuckled, “You’re joking, young friend! I haven’t ascended yet, so I can’t resist the temptation of top-grade spirit crystals either!”

“Excellent!” Ian Song clapped. “Since Senior is so straightforward, I won’t be polite. There’s a girl named Cece imprisoned in the Duke of Qi Residence. If you rescue her, I’ll reward you with ten thousand top-grade spirit crystals!”

Hearing this, Old Man Tanner’s eyes lit up. Killing in the mountains was risky, but rescuing someone was much safer, so he smiled, “Alright, I’ll take this job!”

“Senior, you’re decisive! Here are ten thousand top-grade spirit crystals!” Ian Song tossed over a storage ring.

Old Man Tanner grabbed the storage ring and scanned it with his divine sense. Even after living thousands of years, seeing a mountain of top-grade spirit crystals made him dizzy!

He then said excitedly to Ian Song, “Don’t worry, young friend! Even if it costs me my old life, I’ll rescue Cece!”

As soon as he finished, Old Man Tanner turned into a streak of light and disappeared.

Seeing this, Bei Qiongxi suddenly felt a pang of envy for Cece. Someone was willing to spend ten thousand top-grade spirit crystals for her rescue. Even with the backing of Immortal Cloud Pavilion and the Second Prince, she’d only managed to save up two thousand crystals over the years.

At that moment, Ian Song’s gaze landed on Barry Jiang, and he teased, “Hey, want to earn some top-grade spirit crystals? If you kill that old turtle Colin Jiang, I’ll give you a hundred thousand top-grade spirit crystals!”

“Don’t try to sow discord, you little thief! I’m loyal to the Duke—I’d never be tempted by your offer!” Barry Jiang said angrily.

“How much is loyalty worth in spirit crystals? Fine, I’ll give you a hundred fifty thousand top-grade spirit crystals!” Ian Song added.

Seeing Barry Jiang remain silent, Ian Song continued, “What about two hundred thousand top-grade spirit crystals?”

For no reason at all, Barry Jiang’s heart suddenly began to beat faster.

Colin Jiang couldn’t take it anymore and shouted, “You little beast, shut your mouth!”

But Ian Song ignored him and stared at Barry Jiang. “Three hundred thousand top-grade spirit crystals! This is your last chance. You’ll never earn that much serving the Jiang family for life. With three hundred thousand spirit crystals, you could start a super sect of your own!”

“Enough!” Barry Jiang shouted, but his gaze toward Colin Jiang had changed.

Ian Song stamped his foot and cursed, “Damn it, don’t be so ungrateful! Fine, I’ll give you five hundred thousand top-grade spirit crystals—deal or not?”

At the words ‘five hundred thousand,’ Barry Jiang’s eyes suddenly turned blood-red. With a sudden palm strike toward Colin Jiang, he cried, “My lord, this old servant has wronged you!”
